Biography[]
Beyond the Ruins[]
R66-Y is deactivated and laying dormant when Crono, Marle, and Lucca find him in Proto Dome. Lucca repairs him and they name him "Robo". They were attempting to get to the Time Gate but it's behind a locked door. Thankful for the repairs, Robo agrees to head into the Factory up north to turn on the power so they can open the door to the inner chamber to get to the Time Gate. But one of them has to stay behind to open the door because the power won't stay on for long. So Crono chooses whether Marle or Lucca stays, and the party of three heads north to the Factory.
The Factory Ruins[]
Crono and his party enter the Factory, but Robo has to deactivate the security systems first. They then travel deep into the Factory battling robot enemies and using security codes to access different areas.
They finally restore power to Proto Dome. But upon their exit from the Factory, they are confronted by the R Series of robots. The six R Series robots inform Robo that he is defective, which is why he is helping humans and fighting against his own kind. So the R Series destroys Robo. The two remaining party members battle the R Series and defeat them. They then take Robo back to Proto Dome where Lucca repairs him once again.
Knowing that he no longer has a life in 2300 A.D., Robo agrees to join Crono and his friends on their journey through time. So together, the four of them enter the Time Gate.
The End of Time[]
The Gate in Proto Dome ends up sending them to The End of Time. A mysterious old man is there to inform them of what the End of Time is and why they are there.
Crono and his party then meet Spekkio, a magical creature who grants them the power to use magic.
Urged by the old man, Crono and his party return to his home era, 1000 A.D., by traveling through the designated Time Gate represented by the pillars of light.
- Note: From this point on, the player will have more party members than spots in his party. Crono will remain the leader of the party, and the other two members can rotate out at any time. The characters not in the party will wait at the End of Time until the player needs them.
